[00:00:31] Speaker A: We're in a new studio today, if you haven't noticed. Our first time, and let me just say, the entire team, including the CEO of the entire team. [00:00:43] Speaker B: It was actually Epic. [00:00:44] Speaker A: No, Epic played a joke on me and said that nothing was here or set up. So I walked into the room where this was supposed to be, and it was two, like, folding chairs where with a pipe. A pipe that was, like, construction and, [00:01:01] Speaker B: like, wooden rods and garbage bags. [00:01:03] Speaker A: And garbage bags with a red light like this. [00:01:05] Speaker B: And we were dead ass. Like, this is our new studio. [00:01:08] Speaker A: So Emily calls me and she goes, don't freak out. She whispers. She goes, can you hear me? Don't freak out. There's nothing set up. And I'm like, what do you mean? [00:01:18] Speaker B: Mind you, this is our first time ever in the building. In the building? [00:01:22] Speaker A: Yeah. And I was like, what do you mean? Where's John, AKA CEO? And I walk in while John's, like, [00:01:30] Speaker B: giggling in the back. [00:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I had no idea. I must have walked by him and didn't even see. I walked in with, like, a mean mug. [00:01:35] Speaker B: He was hiding. [00:01:35] Speaker A: Oh, he was hiding. So I walk in, nothing. And they're all playing a joke on me for a while. And I was this close to losing my shit. [00:01:43] Speaker B: She was. She was tamed, I would say. I've never seen Dom this tame because she was just meeting our camera guy for the first time. She wanted to be, like, a little [00:01:50] Speaker A: bit more tame before our buddy Corey got to know me a little bit more. And I barely freaked out. And then it's all filmed. I was going, you're fucking with me, right? [00:02:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:04] Speaker A: And you played it good. Corey played a good. Who I've never met before. And then John came walking. [00:02:09] Speaker B: John comes busted. [00:02:10] Speaker A: Like, what's that show? [00:02:12] Speaker B: Pranked? [00:02:13] Speaker A: No, with. [00:02:15] Speaker B: With Ashton Kutcher. [00:02:16] Speaker A: Ashton Kutcher. Punked. [00:02:18] Speaker B: Oh, punked. [00:02:18] Speaker A: That's how I felt. I was on Punk'd. [00:02:20] Speaker B: I love Punk'd. And, you know, I live for. [00:02:22] Speaker A: There was cameras around me. [00:02:23] Speaker B: When John said, do you want to prank Dom? I said, say less. [00:02:26] Speaker A: I love being pranked. Not like if it's a bad prank, but this was a good prank because I have a good reaction. [00:02:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:32] Speaker A: Because mine's a real reaction. Because you're drama and I'm raw. [00:02:35] Speaker B: Right? [00:02:35] Speaker A: I'm raw. Like raw chicken. [00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah.

[00:03:32] Speaker A: No pictures were taken. No videos were taken. Nothing. [00:03:36] Speaker B: I love that so much. [00:03:37] Speaker A: It was me, myself and my fam. Familia. [00:03:41] Speaker B: I honestly think Mother's Day, I was by myself. No, I wasn't. I had a similar day. I was just with my family, with my mom. My mother in law was at my sister in law, so she wasn't with us. But we just had a very wholesome day at home. My husband cooked and cleaned and did laundry, but he didn't fold it or put it away. So it was my job for one day. [00:04:06] Speaker A: That's what happens. Like they always do. [00:04:08] Speaker B: But you know what? They never finished a jod clean. [00:04:11] Speaker A: Is it? [00:04:12] Speaker B: I'm talking about a Joe Dee Dee clean. When he gets in this. When he gets in it. He is. [00:04:16] Speaker A: Does that turn you on? Turns me on. [00:04:19] Speaker B: I mean, yeah, it turns you on. No, but I was so happy. Like I was like, fuck yes. [00:04:23] Speaker A: Doesn't it feel good when you have a clean house? [00:04:25] Speaker B: He's doing it. So he was. I mean he was a robot. His mother came out on him. He was just like mopping and sweeping and doing all things. Oh my God. Yeah, he vacuum cleaned the couch. He was doing all the like deep cleans that I don't do, never do. [00:04:41] Speaker A: Wait. I kind of love that he did that for you. [00:04:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:42] Speaker A: Didn't it feel good? [00:04:43] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean I feel like you don't [00:04:45] Speaker A: care about that shit. [00:04:46] Speaker B: I mean I keep a clean house. [00:04:47] Speaker A: You do, you just don't care. [00:04:48] Speaker B: Yeah, right. I don't care. [00:04:49] Speaker A: Like you know, bother you. [00:04:50] Speaker B: But he made a good dinner. I got a massage. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Yeah. How was that? [00:04:56] Speaker B: And actually the best part of the whole day was he let me sleep in and sleep in. You were sleeping's like 7am it was 7:30. That's good. But I was in my bed like listening to my kids. They were like daddy, daddy, can we go up? Can we go up? And he was like no, not yet. And they were all just like shuffling and like getting their cars. I mean I was already awake and I was just at that point I was like just barge in already. I'm waiting. So they came in, they with my coffee and my cards and. [00:05:20] Speaker A: What time did you open your eyeballs? [00:05:22] Speaker B: Like 7:20. [00:05:24] Speaker A: So you can sleep. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:26] Speaker A: I thought you're like brain is wired [00:05:27] Speaker B: to wake up at 5am no, usually it is, but I actually allowed myself to sleep in. It was nice. [00:05:32] Speaker A: So happy for you. [00:05:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:33] Speaker A: My everyday is like 800. [00:05:35] Speaker B: You know you and your family could sleep till 12 and. [00:05:38] Speaker A: Well, not Michael, I can, I can't sleep past like nine o'. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Clock. [00:05:42] Speaker A: But eight is my sweet spot. Like anytime before that. It's like an effort. [00:05:46] Speaker B: I don't know the last time I slept past. [00:05:49] Speaker A: I don't know how you function. [00:05:50] Speaker B: I mean you don't. We're just 5amers. [00:05:52] Speaker A: You are whole family. Yeah, couldn't be. But anyway, I do have a, some, some. A serious question to ask you. [00:05:59] Speaker B: Yes. [00:06:00] Speaker A: So I heard this on the radio and I, I have to ask it. So they said on the radio it has to do with Mother's Day when your kids buy you a gift. [00:06:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:11] Speaker A: Is it okay to exchange or return that gift? And I need to know your answer. Let me preface preference. Preface, Preface. I can't figure it out. I need a dictionary. [00:06:22] Speaker B: F, A, C, E. We're not spelling babe. [00:06:25] Speaker A: We don't want to spell. So this was a story kids bought. It was. It was the father who bought. But younger kids gave it to their mom. Yeah. It was from the kids for Mother's Day. It was a pair of shoes designer. [00:06:38] Speaker B: Yes. [00:06:38] Speaker A: And the mom was like thank you so much but I think I'm gonna exchange for like a different color. So that was an exchange story. But I'm wondering what you think about returning or exchanging a Mother's day gift from your kids. [00:06:51] Speaker B: I think it depends because like, my kids now, if they picked something out for me, they are so proud. They are so excited. Like, even with flowers, like, they know my favorite color is yellow. And like, they just like, they're excited to get yellow flowers. [00:07:04] Speaker A: Like, they know. [00:07:05] Speaker B: They know. So like, if I were to like, say, like, I don't like that or want to return it, I would feel so bad that I would just eat my own pride and I would wear those. [00:07:13] Speaker A: Even if it was like a nice necklace that you just didn't like. [00:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:18] Speaker A: How would you do? I would never exchange or from your kids. Return from my kids ever. Yeah. I don't, I don't care what it was. I see. I just like, would love it. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Like, no matter what it was, I'm not picking. [00:07:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:30] Speaker A: But this mom exchanged or returned. Yeah. [00:07:34] Speaker B: Fresh. Fresh. [00:07:35] Speaker A: So fresh. So anyway, I had to ask you that because I was curious what your thought was. [00:07:38] Speaker B: Yes. I also, I was at the nail salon the other day and the moms were talking about Mother's Day and it was older moms. And she was telling this other mom, she was like, yeah, how was your Mother's Day? She was like, honestly, I didn't see my kids, like, they have a family now. And like, oh my God. So they were doing their own thing. Yeah. And it was like, it was so sad. But I was thinking it was probably her son and his family. The daughter is always with the mom. [00:08:07] Speaker A: I was with my in laws. [00:08:08] Speaker B: Well, you're different. [00:08:11] Speaker A: Well, my mom was up north. [00:08:12] Speaker B: Right. [00:08:12] Speaker A: Plus the pneumonia thing. [00:08:14] Speaker B: Yeah. So. But I, I just think. But like, just think about. But it is, think about your mother in law. [00:08:19] Speaker A: My sister in law was with her mom all day. [00:08:21] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [00:08:21] Speaker A: But we were gonna do something on a different day. But we didn't. [00:08:23] Speaker B: But yeah, well, I'm just thinking about the boy moms out there that are gonna raise these kids and baby's gonna leave you, Leave you. And then he's not. [00:08:29] Speaker A: I'm coming. [00:08:30] Speaker B: Just saying I'm coming. I will show up. [00:08:33] Speaker A: I'm gonna show up. That's not nice. [00:08:35] Speaker B: I know. [00:08:36] Speaker A: She didn't see her kids. [00:08:37] Speaker B: She didn't see, but she was like, it's fine. Like, they have new. They have babies. Like, she was just explaining. I was eavesdropping. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Oh, you were? [00:08:45] Speaker B: No, I wasn't in the conversation. I don't interrupt. I just listen. [00:08:49] Speaker A: You know what? I just feel like I, I feel like everyone thinks this way. Like you don't ever imagine your son who's two, leaving you one day. It had like. I mean, yeah. [00:09:00] Speaker B: Oh, my friend, she has three boys. She's full on spiraling because she's like, what am I going to happen to me, right? What's going to happen? [00:09:07] Speaker A: I just hope I have. I have a good family, enough for everyone to just be together. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Or like a good daughter in law. [00:09:14] Speaker A: Well, that's what I meant. [00:09:15] Speaker B: Yeah. It's hard, but you can't pick unless you do an arranged marriage or. [00:09:19] Speaker A: I feel like I have to pick. [00:09:20] Speaker B: Yeah, you got to pick. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Yeah, like I have to pick. No, but I feel like, see, like Michael marrying me, like he knew his mama was going to love me. [00:09:27] Speaker B: Right. [00:09:28] Speaker A: So and so funny. But yeah. [00:09:31] Speaker B: All right. [00:09:31] Speaker A: Well, Mother's Day was great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Flowers and the whole thing, the little shebang. [00:09:36] Speaker B: I also do think Mother's Day is overrated. I just got a really nice card, a massage, and I get like a gift. Gift. [00:09:45] Speaker A: You want to know what we I got? [00:09:46] Speaker B: Sure. [00:09:47] Speaker A: So I got a new coffee machine. [00:09:50] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Decaf only. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Decaf only. But it does switch out for regular for my caffeine addicts. Across the table for me. And drum roll for this one. We're going to Aruba in October. You come in. [00:10:04] Speaker B: I'm just gonna hop in. [00:10:05] Speaker A: I knew you were gonna come. I'm so excited. We're going with the baby. [00:10:08] Speaker B: Oh, that's so fun. Nice little. [00:10:10] Speaker A: So the picture he printed out was like the picture of the room, but it was a huge room. It was like a corner room. So I opened up the paper. There was no writing on it. And I go, oh, my God, did you get us a new couch? [00:10:19] Speaker B: Oh, like, it was not like, no, [00:10:20] Speaker A: idiot, we're going to Aruba. I was like, whoops. [00:10:24] Speaker B: Oh, that's so nice. That'll be fun. [00:10:25] Speaker A: So excited. [00:10:26] Speaker B: It's like anniversary. [00:10:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:27] Speaker B: Time be a good age. [00:10:29] Speaker A: So I'm excited. [00:10:29] Speaker B: That's so fun. [00:10:31] Speaker A: Anyhow, you know what I have to say about this new setup? I love it so much. Not to change the SOP topic, but you know what's different about it? [00:10:36] Speaker B: What? [00:10:37] Speaker A: We can't hear ourselves. Like we're not in our own bubble. Oh, that's why you probably feel a little weird. [00:10:41] Speaker B: I do. I feel weird. [00:10:43] Speaker A: Because you don't hear yourself talking. [00:10:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:45] Speaker A: The loudness of it. [00:10:46] Speaker B: That is what's weird. [00:10:48] Speaker A: I knew you were having troubles over there. [00:10:50] Speaker B: I also feel like we're just like in the living room and I'm looking at Vogue So I should be sipping on tea or something. [00:10:55] Speaker A: I feel like I'm in your living room, actually. My living room? My living room? [00:10:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:58] Speaker A: My living room literally looks like this. It has the panels. [00:11:01] Speaker B: It has the panels. Wait, I feel like I want a movie ship Lap. Is it. [00:11:04] Speaker A: If anybody were to see, like, what's in front of us. It's so crazy. It's like a movie set. I love it. [00:11:08] Speaker B: Famous. [00:11:09] Speaker A: Okay, so what are we doing today? What are we talking about? [00:11:12] Speaker B: You know, what we're doing? We are reintroducing ourselves because we have a lot of new followers. [00:11:18] Speaker A: A lot of new followers. [00:11:19] Speaker B: We have so many new followers. We have people who don't really know who we were before this. [00:11:22] Speaker A: I don't even know who I am. [00:11:23] Speaker B: I don't know who I am right now. [00:11:25] Speaker A: No. [00:11:26] Speaker B: But we're gonna talk about it, and I think what's we. What we really need to start with is discussing who we were BC before children. [00:11:35] Speaker A: Okay. And then that would set us up for who we are now. [00:11:38] Speaker B: Yes. And who we were a year ago, like, when we just started Mama podcast. I think a lot of things have changed. Okay, so let's start with who were you before children? I could bring it way back. You could bring it back. [00:11:50] Speaker A: How back am I going? Before husband? [00:11:52] Speaker B: Just. You love talking about yourself. Just. [00:11:54] Speaker A: I do so wish I saw you [00:11:56] Speaker B: can do before your husband or when you met your husband. [00:11:57] Speaker A: So my name is Dominique. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Right. Like, collaborating people that don't know who you are at all and are just listening to you talk nonsense, and they're like, who is this? [00:12:04] Speaker A: Hi, nice to meet you. I don't usually wear a tennis sweater, but I'm in one today. So my maiden name's Calabro. So I'm Dominique Marie Calabro. I am young, beautiful, and in love. But I wasn't. But I wasn't always young, beautiful, in love. [00:12:26] Speaker B: Okay. [00:12:27] Speaker A: I had a really good upbringing. I come from a big family. I have a brother, a mom, and a dad. I grew up with two dogs. Told me to explain, but I really had a great, you know, upbringing. So I. I come from a good family. We're Italian. And who would have thought. Who would have thought with the dark eyebrows? So I danced my whole life. I love to dance competitively, so that's, like, my nature. And I love to make people laugh. And I just love being the center of attention. So here I am podcast. But we're not gonna fast forward yet. We're still going on the timeline. Yes. So I went to college at Hofstra University in Long Island. I danced there. [00:13:12] Speaker B: Do you think you developed an accent from Long Island? [00:13:15] Speaker A: No, definitely not. I think I gave people accents. From me? Yeah. [00:13:20] Speaker B: They took it from you. [00:13:21] Speaker A: Yeah. So I went to college, I danced there, and then I graduated and I got a corporate job as a corporate girl. I was in sales. I did really well there. [00:13:33] Speaker B: And you wore suits every day? [00:13:35] Speaker A: I wore suits every day. And then after Covid, it turned to like business casual. So I was more so like jeans and like a cute shirt, but with heels always. [00:13:42] Speaker B: I can't imagine waking up every day and putting on. [00:13:44] Speaker A: Had to. Until after Covid, we were allowed to wear sneakers, but it was always like men were in suit and ties. [00:13:49] Speaker B: Wow. Did you work with any hot guys? [00:13:52] Speaker A: Oh, everyone was like, good looking, but I was never into anybody. But fast forward. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Everybody in your. In your circle was hot at the company. [00:14:01] Speaker A: It was like, known for hiring good looking people. [00:14:03] Speaker B: And you never fucked a co worker? [00:14:05] Speaker A: Because I met Michael. [00:14:07] Speaker B: Damn, Mike, you ruin everything. [00:14:08] Speaker A: Always. So Anyway, during COVID 2020, I met my husband in June and he hopped over a white picket fence and saw my beautiful soul. And I attracted him. [00:14:20] Speaker B: Is that what he noticed first? [00:14:21] Speaker A: I think so. Or my. I was. I was like 30 pounds overweight, so probably my big knockers, honestly. Oh, I'm not kidding. I was in a bathing suit. [00:14:29] Speaker B: You never had big boobs. [00:14:30] Speaker A: Yes, I did. [00:14:31] Speaker B: When did you have big boobs? [00:14:32] Speaker A: Oh, my God. In co. During COVID They were this big. I'll show you a picture. Okay, let me show you a picture now. Kind of huge. I mean, I was like 40 pounds heavier than I am now. [00:14:43] Speaker B: Yeah, but you still. I would never be like, oh, that chicken. [00:14:45] Speaker A: You were nine months pregnant. You weren't aware of anything. [00:14:47] Speaker B: Okay, fine. [00:14:47] Speaker A: Anyway, so during COVID hopped over white picket fence. So my dad and Michael's, my husband, now's best friend, owned the house next door to my. My dad, which we never knew because we always had a million people at her house. The whole story, the whole shabam. [00:15:02] Speaker B: You're the party house. [00:15:03] Speaker A: Party house. And then one day during coven, my dad invited the neighbors over. [00:15:06] Speaker B: Wait, can I just say something about your house? So I was friends with the. The neighbors next door to your house. And we would always see you would have these parties. We're like, those fucking guidos are at it again. [00:15:18] Speaker A: Would you joke about us? [00:15:19] Speaker B: We just thought, did you ever like, [00:15:20] Speaker A: look over like, oh my God, they're so hot. [00:15:22] Speaker B: We just thought, honestly, you were like older guidos. [00:15:26] Speaker A: Meanwhile, we're all younger than all of [00:15:28] Speaker B: you, but you guys, like, give the appearance of older or like, we thought it was your house. So, like, why would a 22 year old have a house? Yeah, right. [00:15:37] Speaker A: So, so funny. [00:15:38] Speaker B: Like, I don't think we looked, like, very closely to see. [00:15:40] Speaker A: No, because that bar is kind of in the way of the house. You can't really say. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:44] Speaker A: So anyway, met my husband of 2020.

[00:16:12] Speaker A: Sorry, I quit my job 2024, after I had GIO. We started the podcast 2025. [00:16:17] Speaker B: Okay. [00:16:18] Speaker A: Now it's 2026. A year later. [00:16:20] Speaker B: And we're time. Time is the place. [00:16:22] Speaker A: Yeah. What did you just ask me? [00:16:23] Speaker B: So when did you meet me? [00:16:24] Speaker A: I met you. I mean, the first. In June of 2020. I met you. You were nine months pregnant. [00:16:28] Speaker B: I was. [00:16:29] Speaker A: And then we hit it off. We were walking together. [00:16:31] Speaker B: We did. We hit it off right away. What were your first impressions of Mega Slow Walker? Cute. Like my vibe. [00:16:40] Speaker A: Funny. [00:16:40] Speaker B: Cool dressed. Funny cool dressed. Yeah, that. [00:16:45] Speaker A: Like, did you. Oh, and then you want to tell a story about how you knew I was the right mom for Michael? [00:16:49] Speaker B: Oh, I could tell that story. For those of Michael's my husband. For those of you who are new followers out there. So Michael is her husband and my best. Best friend of over 19 years. Because my husband, who I will explain it later, is his cousin. And anyway, I was always close with Michael. We always. I always was trying to set him up with people. I always told him he had to date or marry someone that I loved because if he didn't, my life would be hell. [00:17:17] Speaker A: Meanwhile, we have a whole ass podcast together. [00:17:20] Speaker B: I can't believe it's been great, but the reason I knew you were the one for him was we were talking and he was like, em, I met someone. I was like, okay, great. Tell me about her. Like, does he. [00:17:32] Speaker A: Did he say that often? Not me, like, digging. [00:17:34] Speaker B: No. I mean, no, not like I met the one. You're the only one. Yeah, he was, like, very excited about me meeting you. Like, like you were something. [00:17:42] Speaker A: He does love me. I give him trouble. [00:17:44] Speaker B: She's a fucking psychopath. So I was like, okay, like. Like, how is the sex? Like, what's her vagina like? I always asked him about, and we [00:17:53] Speaker A: had sex on the first night. [00:17:54] Speaker B: You're a slut. I know, I love that. [00:17:56] Speaker A: But imagine like, what if I'd never talk to him again. [00:17:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:59] Speaker A: I mean, I did that like a one night, but this was like Covid. This was like I could have been [00:18:02] Speaker B: meeting like a sex during COVID Yeah. [00:18:05] Speaker A: First night. [00:18:05] Speaker B: I feel like the whole world was like celibate. [00:18:09] Speaker A: Leave it to me. So anyway, you asked about my vagina. He would not see me. [00:18:12] Speaker B: He would not tell me, not even one detail. [00:18:14] Speaker A: Now she asks me to see it myself. [00:18:16] Speaker B: Not one crevice, not anything. So I was like, wow, she must be the one, because. [00:18:21] Speaker A: And the rest is history. Yeah. [00:18:22] Speaker B: Now you've seen my vagina a hundred thousand times. It's good. I. I accept. [00:18:28] Speaker A: So anyway, now my son is two and this podcast is blowing up, and I'm so. I'm such in a good. What do we got? Mountains. [00:18:37] Speaker B: Oh, where's my bear? [00:18:38] Speaker A: Where's my bear? So I feel like I'm in a really good place in my life. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Do you? [00:18:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:45] Speaker B: You didn't talk about like you had postpartum after your kid. [00:18:47] Speaker A: I didn't know I was going into [00:18:48] Speaker B: that, you know, I mean, you're talking. [00:18:50] Speaker A: I had a child. I had really bad postpartum. [00:18:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:54] Speaker A: I think it made me who I am right now. Yeah, I suffered really badly. There's so many moving parts. I quit my job. I became a stay at home mom. My family lived an hour away from me. I just had a baby. I didn't know what to do with him. My husband's like, owns a financial firm, so he was like out and about doing his thing. I had no one around. And I mean, I had everyone around but no one around at the same time. [00:19:15] Speaker B: That's what a lot of people feel. [00:19:16] Speaker A: Right. [00:19:16] Speaker B: It's like you. You feel lonely, but like you have [00:19:19] Speaker A: people that feel lonely. Exactly. So I just struggled a lot, probably for like a full year. I had anxiety and it was a different kind of anxiety than people usually explain. Like, I wasn't like choked up in my bed and I couldn't leave. I was more so just worried about everything and anything and not think. I'm not even saying about him choking or him. I'm talking about like leaving the house and feeling like disassociated. Like, I'm gonna go out to a park. I feel like I shouldn't be his mom. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Right. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Like that type of Postpartum, it's scary. And you don't realize. [00:19:52] Speaker B: Right. [00:19:52] Speaker A: That's kind of how I felt. I felt like I wasn't the character I was supposed to be at that time in my life. Like, it was weird. I felt like watching myself from the outside. [00:20:00] Speaker B: Right. I felt. I feel like you kept questioning, like, how you were with him. [00:20:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, what am I supposed to be doing? And I would. No joke. Like, I would just be strolling in a store, and, like, he would be fidgeting, and I would feel things. I didn't know what I was feeling. I was like, what? He's not doing anything. Why am I feeling all weird? [00:20:19] Speaker B: Right. [00:20:19] Speaker A: That's just like, so many levels of postpartum, but there's more to it. I just felt like my anxiety took over and I couldn't be myself. I mean, I just truly wasn't myself. And I feel like it really defined who I was today. And it got. I mean, you got me personally out of my funk that I was in so severely. I mean, you look me dead in my eyes. You're like, you're not okay. And, I mean, we did a whole episode on this, so if you want to go back to it, you can. But, you know, and we could do [00:20:45] Speaker B: another episode about it. We don't. You don't have to get all that. [00:20:47] Speaker A: No. But you got to just surround yourself by good people, and that's what really got me out of it. And then I feel like, fast forward to where we are now, and I feel like I'm in a really good spot, wouldn't you say? [00:20:54] Speaker B: Yes. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Thank you so much. [00:20:57] Speaker B: I did a lot of work on myself. Thank you so much. [00:21:00] Speaker A: Thank you so much. And that's it. I feel like the rest is history. I mean, I have such a. Like. [00:21:04] Speaker B: And are you an influencer? [00:21:05] Speaker A: I'm not an influencer, but I am influencing. [00:21:08] Speaker B: Right. [00:21:09] Speaker A: You know? Oh, God. I'm trying. [00:21:11] Speaker B: She's trying. Yeah. I. So I am the complete opposite of this chick right here. I want to hide behind the camera. I don't want to talk to anybody. Like, if you were to tell me that I had a podcast that I [00:21:25] Speaker A: would have started, like, rewind back in [00:21:27] Speaker B: the day, I would have been like, no, like, no, absolutely not. But here we are, literally. [00:21:35] Speaker A: But you have such a different story than mine because you just married your high school sweetheart. [00:21:39] Speaker B: I did. [00:21:39] Speaker A: Or your childhood sweetheart. [00:21:40] Speaker B: I married. I've been with my husband for 20 years. Can you imagine? [00:21:44] Speaker A: No, I can't imagine. Like, my husband, like, is upset because, like, he's going to Atlantic City, and we have sex before he left. And I'm like, oh, my God. Jesus Christ. How are you gonna make it 20 years? [00:21:53] Speaker B: I mean, 20 years sexless marriage. Like, I see it, but we, like, grew up together. We truly did. Like, we. [00:22:02] Speaker A: You just, like, adore him. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I think we do adore each other. I mean, he's my person. Like, I don't know. [00:22:11] Speaker A: Take me back. [00:22:11] Speaker B: Take. Take you back. Okay. Well, before him, there was nobody. No, before him. I mean, I. I grew up. I have two brothers. My parents are divorced. I'm very close with my mom. Like, weirdly close with her. We talk a thousand times a day. We always have. And I feel like I am. [00:22:35] Speaker A: Wait, I'm sorry. Did you say you have two brothers? [00:22:37] Speaker B: I do. I have. You don't know about my other brother. [00:22:39] Speaker A: Wait, what? The actual. [00:22:42] Speaker B: I have my. I have a half brother. Not my mom's brother. I mean, my mom's son. Yeah. Justin and Greg. Shout out Justin. He lives in California. You knew this? [00:22:54] Speaker A: I did. But you know all this. [00:22:55] Speaker B: I, like, told her. Like, I tell her things from time to time. [00:22:57] Speaker A: I just like it. So confused. I do have a memory of. [00:23:01] Speaker B: She has a memory of a nothing. [00:23:02] Speaker A: We. You go. I have two brothers, casually. [00:23:05] Speaker B: Yeah, well, he's a lot older, and. Yeah, he's not around. Oh, yeah. [00:23:08] Speaker A: Isn't he, like, 40? [00:23:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [00:23:12] Speaker B: So I grew up very close with my mom. Like Gilmore Girl status. Like, too close and I don't know what else. [00:23:26] Speaker A: Your husband? [00:23:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, we grew up together. Like, we were 12. [00:23:29] Speaker A: Mitzvah. [00:23:30] Speaker B: Mitzvah. We danced. [00:23:33] Speaker A: You have not. You have. Don't have a story because it's just been your. Yeah. The whole time. [00:23:36] Speaker B: I mean, but, like, so, I mean, [00:23:38] Speaker A: like, I had a million boyfriends. Like, I had all that. [00:23:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't have that. But Joe and I, we had one year. I went to College of Charleston. So with status Quo High school, whatever, then freshman year, I knew I wanted to, like, go out and experience the world. I knew it in my bones, like, we needed to do it for each other. So I went to. [00:23:57] Speaker A: I'm so proud of you. [00:23:58] Speaker B: College of Charleston in South Carolina. He went to Rutgers. He was a baseball player. This end of the story is even better. And I had the time of my life. Like, I had a year. And we were open. We were in an open relationship. So any stories I have is from that year. [00:24:13] Speaker A: One year. You should be like a movie. Like, you just had a one year to get done what you Needed to get done one year. [00:24:19] Speaker B: Bang it out, baby. [00:24:20] Speaker A: You did. And I feel like he doesn't know any of it. [00:24:22] Speaker B: No, we had a don't ask, don't tell situation, so that's why I don't tell a lot of the things on here about that year. But I'm gonna start because who cares? [00:24:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it. [00:24:31] Speaker B: Fuck it. So. Yeah, but he had his fun, I had my fun. [00:24:35] Speaker A: And tell us where you ended up. [00:24:37] Speaker B: I ended up back at Rutgers. [00:24:41] Speaker A: Right back where you started. [00:24:42] Speaker B: I missed him. I missed my mom. I missed my friends. So he actually set me up. He was like. He heard girls on his floor at Rutgers saying that they needed a new roommate. And he was like, my girlfriend is actually transferring here. Do you think maybe you could have her? And they were like, well, let me see her Facebook. So they stalked me, and I guess I was okay on Facebook. They said yes, and I just slid right into the house at Rutgers. And honestly, it was the best thing I ever did because those three girls are, like, my best friends for life. [00:25:17] Speaker A: Jordan, Alicia, and Amrita. [00:25:19] Speaker B: And Joey really set me up with them. But I have to say, I was 5,000% convinced that Joey fucked Alicia. [00:25:26] Speaker A: And he never did. [00:25:27] Speaker B: They say, no. No, he never did. He really didn't. [00:25:30] Speaker A: I would love to know. She never opened up. [00:25:33] Speaker B: No, they did. They opened. She said, tell me. Yeah. Oh, my God, that's so funny. But, like. But the whole time I was like, I think that he fucked my best friend. [00:25:43] Speaker A: I remember that mirror story. You were, like, getting yourself ready, and she walked in. [00:25:45] Speaker B: You were like, oh, yeah. Oh, in the bathroom. Yeah. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Now I can imagine you doing that with Alicia. [00:25:50] Speaker B: I was so scared because I was like. I was visiting him. It was freshman year, his freshman year, visiting him. [00:25:56] Speaker A: And I cannot believe you visited him in an open relationship. [00:25:59] Speaker B: Well, that was terrible. [00:26:01] Speaker A: Yeah. I feel like that's a bad idea. [00:26:02] Speaker B: And I surprised him. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a bad idea. [00:26:05] Speaker B: Bad idea. Bad, bad, bad. [00:26:06] Speaker A: But anyway, I feel like it made you who you are. [00:26:08] Speaker B: It did. [00:26:08] Speaker A: Right now. Yeah. So you transferred to Rutgers, and the rest is history. You got engaged, you got married, and you had three under three. [00:26:13] Speaker B: We had three babies. Covid hit. We had three babies. 20, 20, 22 and 23. [00:26:19] Speaker A: But you always knew you were gonna have his kids. [00:26:21] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I always wanted a big family. I always wanted him to be the father. And that's the thing about Joe. I did like, he's a family guy. I said this in previous things, like, my dad was not. My dad was, like, an amazing dad. But not the family guy. [00:26:35] Speaker A: I always say this, like, amazing dad, but not a good husband. [00:26:37] Speaker B: Bad husband. Bad, bad, bad, bad husband. Good dad. But my husband is a good husband and a good dad, and I knew that's what I wanted. And here we are. [00:26:46] Speaker A: Do you. I have to ask you, before we wrap up this introduction of us, I feel like I didn't even, like, introduce myself. I hope people do. Really? [00:26:52] Speaker B: I think that you talked a lot about this. [00:26:54] Speaker A: Did I? Okay, good. I feel like now I forgot what I was gonna ask you. It was good, too. [00:27:00] Speaker B: What was it? [00:27:02] Speaker A: I feel like, oh, well, I mean, [00:27:06] Speaker B: I could go on about how I was in my bubble of three under three. [00:27:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:27:11] Speaker B: I mean, I was. [00:27:12] Speaker A: Have you had postpartum? You didn't realize. [00:27:14] Speaker B: No, I didn't have postpartum. I was. The thing is, I was happy in my bubble. [00:27:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:19] Speaker B: I was not. [00:27:20] Speaker A: But you didn't. You didn't associate with anyone around you? [00:27:22] Speaker B: Well, no, because it was Covid, and it was like, nobody talked to anybody. I was just home eating Pennevacco, snuggling my baby. Yeah. And I have to say, like, that was one of the best times of my life. Like, just with, like. [00:27:37] Speaker A: I had a lot of fun during COVID too. [00:27:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:39] Speaker A: It was so fun. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:40] Speaker A: No, I'm serious. Like, my dad was always home. [00:27:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:42] Speaker A: We together. [00:27:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:44] Speaker A: Like, my dad couldn't go out to restaurants like he does for business all the time. So, like, we were all just hanging out down the shore in March. It was so fun. [00:27:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, if you're. If you were with your people, it was fun. I mean, I was scared because I just. I mean, I had a baby in the heat of COVID so like, that was scary. And then, of course, just having three babies under three was hard, but I feel like you pulled me out of that also, where it's like, now I can do something for myself. Before I had kids, I did go to school. I got my master's. I was a behavioral therapist. Oh, yeah. [00:28:12] Speaker A: I didn't even say that, too. [00:28:13] Speaker B: You said you were a corporate girly. [00:28:15] Speaker A: I got my master's. [00:28:16] Speaker B: Oh, we both have our master's people. [00:28:18] Speaker A: You do. Just to let everybody know. And we didn't do one thing. We have a podcast. I didn't take one podcast class in college. [00:28:23] Speaker B: I'm paying student loans. I got my masters. But here we are having a podcast. But I did. I worked with. I specialize in early intervention, autistic kids. And I always just knew that I wanted to be with kids, work with Kids, like, that was just my. My light. Like, I love being around kids, so I always knew I wanted kids. I. I used to. Before kids, I did hood rat shit with my friends and now I do hood rat shit with my kids. [00:28:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:47] Speaker B: Literally, that is what I do. [00:28:48] Speaker A: You're such a hood rat. [00:28:49] Speaker B: I am. To the core. [00:28:51] Speaker A: I can't. It's so funny because I feel like I'm becoming. I mean, I was a hood rat. I was like a hood rat back in the day. [00:28:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:58] Speaker A: That's why I have it in me. So I feel like you pull it out of me and then I pull out like a little glamour. [00:29:02] Speaker B: Oh, glamour. [00:29:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:03] Speaker B: A little class. [00:29:04] Speaker A: Little class. I gotta say, your makeup looks phenomenal today. [00:29:07] Speaker B: I did it myself. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I love it close up. I really. I had a good question for you and I forgot. I guess it was like, in terms of your husband, like, do you think if you didn't have the story that you had, like, you would have met someone like Joey? You think you would have married someone different? [00:29:22] Speaker B: Well, there was this guy. [00:29:24] Speaker A: There's this guy. [00:29:25] Speaker B: No, I. There was this guy at school in Charleston. I think about it. I used to think about it often. If I ended up with him, different life. Different life. [00:29:36] Speaker A: Like what life? [00:29:37] Speaker B: I mean, farm life. [00:29:40] Speaker A: Kind of love that. [00:29:41] Speaker B: Organic, growing, Southern living in Southern belle. When I went to Charleston, I mean, I was surrounded by blonde hair, blue eyed Southern belles, goddess. They were all gorgeous girls. And then here I am, a Jersey girl, tan, brown hair. And they were. They like referred to me as Snooki. [00:29:58] Speaker A: And I was like, I love that. I feel like I got that in that time frame. Everybody called me Snooki. [00:30:01] Speaker B: Thank you. Call me Snooki Moore. [00:30:02] Speaker A: Perfect love. But yeah. [00:30:04] Speaker B: And I also was a blackout queen, so. [00:30:05] Speaker A: And Jersey roots. [00:30:07] Speaker B: Jersey roots. [00:30:08] Speaker A: Loud and proud. [00:30:09] Speaker B: Yes. [00:30:10] Speaker A: I love that. Well, I love us. [00:30:12] Speaker B: I love us. I love where we. I love our past. I love where we are now. [00:30:16] Speaker A: I love our stories. Yeah, they're so different, but so similar. And it has gotten us to where we are. Like, it literally is like this. [00:30:23] Speaker B: Yes. [00:30:23] Speaker A: And I love telling stories of back in the day. Because you see me now, you didn't see me back then. Not that I'm different. [00:30:28] Speaker B: No, you are different. You used to, like, drink and blackout. [00:30:31] Speaker A: I know, I know. I just. My body was different back then. [00:30:33] Speaker B: I wish I knew you back then. [00:30:35] Speaker A: I know I was. [00:30:35] Speaker B: I love you now, but I wish I knew you. [00:30:37] Speaker A: I know I was fine, but honestly, I'm so. [00:30:38] Speaker B: You're still fun. I'm not saying you're not fun, but I. [00:30:40] Speaker A: But, like, the careless going out. [00:30:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:45] Speaker A: Hooking up. [00:30:45] Speaker B: Imagine me and you out trying to hook up with a guy. [00:30:47] Speaker A: I would have so much fun. I wish I had you back in the day. Because my friends, like, we had fun and we drank and we did the thing. But we were the friend group that, like, loved being with each other and not, like, hooking up with guys, but some nights I just want to, like, [00:31:01] Speaker B: oh, my God, go out and just [00:31:03] Speaker A: like, around a little bit. [00:31:04] Speaker B: My girlfriend's loved guys, so also, we just like relationships. I know, I know, I know. [00:31:10] Speaker A: But anyhow, I feel like it's weird because you would think you're more experienced than I am in, like, the sexual department, but, like, I have more experience. [00:31:19] Speaker B: Her roster is bigger than mine. [00:31:21] Speaker A: A way bigger. And, like, way way bigger. And I just feel like people. [00:31:24] Speaker B: Are you proud? [00:31:25] Speaker A: Who. [00:31:25] Speaker B: Who lost their virginity first? [00:31:27] Speaker A: Me or Michael? [00:31:28] Speaker B: No, me or you. [00:31:29] Speaker A: Oh. I lost mine at sophomore year of high school. I was sophomore year of high school. [00:31:34] Speaker B: What were you Freshman year of high school. [00:31:37] Speaker A: Okay. Well, yeah, we're Joey, obviously. [00:31:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:31:40] Speaker A: Isn't that. You lost your virginity to Joey? I lost my virginity to a kid. Like, I no longer even on the [00:31:45] Speaker B: bathroom floor in his house. [00:31:47] Speaker A: Oh. Yeah. Mine was in a bed. [00:31:50] Speaker B: We were on the fucking marble floor. [00:31:53] Speaker A: But yeah, it's like, so funny. I just feel like I have. But like, you have experience. You still have stories and I have [00:31:58] Speaker B: stories also, like, I love adding a person into the bedroom. [00:32:02] Speaker A: Yeah, you do. [00:32:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:03] Speaker A: That is fun, though. But you also. It's easier for you. Let me tell you why. Because you've been with Joey forever, ever. So it's like, almost as if, like, you're a tag team. That's. And not saying anyone want to tag team, but you get what I'm saying. Like, I've been with my husband. [00:32:19] Speaker B: I get it. [00:32:19] Speaker A: I'm most probably as comfortable as you are with your husband, but I don't know his. Yeah, before life. [00:32:26] Speaker B: Before life. [00:32:27] Speaker A: So it's like a weird dynamic. [00:32:28] Speaker B: No, I. I do get that. And like, also, I always like getting [00:32:31] Speaker A: into three sums when we're supposed to be introducing. Why do we always do this? [00:32:37] Speaker B: We get sidetracked. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Now we're talking about three sums. Can we get it together? [00:32:40] Speaker B: If anyone wants to talk about threesomes, dm me. [00:32:43] Speaker A: Yeah, go ahead. Not me. [00:32:46] Speaker B: You said. You said you would rather two guys. [00:32:48] Speaker A: I would. [00:32:49] Speaker B: It's insane. [00:32:50] Speaker A: My husband would die. [00:32:51] Speaker B: Though you probably like it. [00:32:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:54] Speaker B: So anyway, anywho, you wanna play a game? [00:32:57] Speaker A: Did we do all the things?

Well, it was just a game. To get to know us. Who knows? [00:33:05] Speaker A: Okay, that's fun. [00:33:06] Speaker B: Let's do that. Here's a paddle. Here's a pen. [00:33:08] Speaker A: Oh, shit. Where'd you get these? [00:33:10] Speaker B: I got em for our lives. [00:33:12] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I love this. [00:33:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it's so fun.

Okay, so this is round one. Who we were before kids. Okay, you're either writing yourself or me, but just write Dom or M. Okay, before kids who would disappear for entire, for an entire weekend with no plan. Just disappear? [00:33:40] Speaker A: Like. What do you mean? [00:33:41] Speaker B: Just go out and not have a plan and disappear into the world. I don't think I would ever do that. I would never do that. [00:33:49] Speaker A: I would never do that either. [00:33:52] Speaker B: Okay, we both would never do that. That sounds terrifying. [00:33:56] Speaker A: What kind of question is that? Okay, go next. [00:34:01] Speaker B: Okay. Who thought that they would be the cool calm? Yes. Are you the cool calm mom? [00:34:14] Speaker A: Half. [00:34:15] Speaker B: Half. [00:34:15] Speaker A: I know how to hold my composure.

[00:34:43] Speaker B: Who thought that they would never settle down. I wish I put that. Her husband. Her husband. We called him the bachelor for life. [00:34:58] Speaker A: That aggravates the shit out of me. [00:35:00] Speaker B: I know. [00:35:00] Speaker A: That is so annoying. And he acts like it sometimes. [00:35:03] Speaker B: He's still the bachelor. [00:35:06] Speaker A: I'm pissed. [00:35:07] Speaker B: All right, who is most likely to start drama in a group chat? We both would never do that. [00:35:16] Speaker A: Okay, no, wait. No one. [00:35:20] Speaker B: Okay. Who could sleep until noon? This is before kids. Wait, Dominique, you could see [00:35:32] Speaker A: my son. [00:35:33] Speaker B: No, I babysat her son the other weekend and he slept, I'm not joking, until 10:55. That was crazy. I checked on him about 100 times to see if he was breathing. [00:35:43] Speaker A: He wasn't. [00:35:44] Speaker B: My kids were up an entire seven hours before he woke up. [00:35:47] Speaker A: That was crazy. [00:35:48] Speaker B: That was insane.

[00:36:54] Speaker A: I'm working on it. [00:36:55] Speaker B: You are? No, you're doing great. [00:36:56] Speaker A: I'm working on it. [00:36:58] Speaker B: I never thought I'd become the type of mom who hides in a pantry. Would you do that? [00:37:05] Speaker A: No. [00:37:06] Speaker B: To get away from your kids? [00:37:06] Speaker A: No. Would you? [00:37:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:07] Speaker A: Okay. Well, then you just gave me my answer. [00:37:09] Speaker B: I know. Me, me, me. Okay. Who would flirt better for free drinks? [00:37:15] Speaker A: Me. [00:37:17] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't. I don't want to talk to anybody. [00:37:20] Speaker A: You want to touch it? [00:37:21] Speaker B: I'll just, like, hand motion across the bar, like, can you get me? [00:37:23] Speaker A: And they're like, who's the chick doing sign language? [00:37:27] Speaker B: Sign language. Okay. This is just to think about. What was your most unhinged mom moment of this week? You don't have to write it. We're done with the paddles. Because it's stupid. What was like, did you have, like, a. A breaking point this week or today? Every day. [00:37:48] Speaker A: I had one today, I think. [00:37:49] Speaker B: What was it? [00:37:51] Speaker A: But was it this week, though, too? No, it's only Wednesday, I guess. Like, I hate running late. And so I kind of had a little bit of a breakdown this morning. I was still calm, but I definitely freaked out in the sense of, like, my son woke up, then I had to leave the house with him. Then he pooped, had to run back inside. And then I wasn't even dressed yet. I had to get dressed. Come here. I didn't know where I was going, so it was kind of like. So I feel like I kind of had hitting a little bit of a breaking point this morning. [00:38:18] Speaker B: Honestly, it is. It's like you're on edge when you are doing something new. Like, I Remember I woke up so early this morning to shower. [00:38:24] Speaker A: I know, but you're better than me. Why didn't I do that? [00:38:26] Speaker B: Well, I just know that I have three kids that I know when you have kids, you have to expect the unexpected because you don't know if they're gonna shit their pants right when you're running out the door or something's gonna happen or someone's gonna lose their water bottle that they absolutely need for school. Like a lot, like, things just happen. [00:38:43] Speaker A: It's literally. [00:38:43] Speaker B: And like, you can't plan for it, but like, you have to just plan extra time. [00:38:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:47] Speaker B: So you cannot plan for anything. But you can plan. You can try to have extra time in case. [00:38:52] Speaker A: When was yours? [00:38:54] Speaker B: This week? Well, I'm. I'm struggling hard with bedtime. My kids will not go to bed. They don't want to go to bed. And I'm like, if you were to ask me what stage of motherhood you're in right now. I am in the stage where I am counting down the seconds till bedtime. But simultaneously, once they go to bed, I'll be like scrolling my phone, looking at pictures of them saying, like, I miss them. Like, is that psychotic? [00:39:18] Speaker A: Psychotic? [00:39:18] Speaker B: But like, I cannot wait until their little heads are on their pillows. [00:39:23] Speaker A: What time do they go to bed? [00:39:23] Speaker B: Last night, like, Rocco didn't go to sleep till like 9:30 because it was a back and forth. It was like, like by 7:30, like in the air. [00:39:33] Speaker A: Because now Gio always goes down once we rock him to sleep. But he's been waking up in his [00:39:36] Speaker B: crib like, after one thing is, I'm scared though. It's too dark. Oh my God. Open my door. [00:39:42] Speaker A: Annoying. [00:39:43] Speaker B: Yeah, like, go to the, to sleep. They're so annoying. [00:39:46] Speaker A: Seriously. [00:39:46] Speaker B: And now I like, I know. [00:39:50] Speaker A: How do you have three right now? [00:39:51] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:39:52] Speaker A: I mean, Jill was flipping out because I didn't have a spider man. John was on. And I'm like, what do you mean? Just where you don't even care if you were naked or had clothes on right now. [00:39:59] Speaker B: No, they care. [00:40:00] Speaker A: And then he's a mommy pooping. I'm like, oh my God, I change his dirty diaper. [00:40:04] Speaker B: Yeah. So I. But I do have a trick. I. I just. I figured out something that I made the perfect cocktail. Edible if I. If I take it at 7 o' clock and edible early. Now I'm, I'm really not. But like this. It's like a little thc cbd. And like, you just. I just don't have anxiety about getting them to bed. I'm just like, smooth sailing. I'll read the book. I'll tell a funny story. [00:40:28] Speaker A: More like not rushing. [00:40:29] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm not like. It's just like, okay, everything's okay. Like, they're going to get to bed within the next. Not that big of a deal. Like, I will get. I will be in my bed soon. [00:40:36] Speaker A: You just want to turn. [00:40:37] Speaker B: I just. Yeah. I just want to just not be a mom. [00:40:40] Speaker A: Yeah. For one second of my goddamn life. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed our reintroduction. [00:40:48] Speaker B: Let me reintroduce myself. [00:40:49] Speaker A: Yeah. But anyway, do you have anything else for us?
